Be fit and fashionable

There are so many choices these days when it comes to what clothes to wear while working out.  A while ago most of us would be content with a cotton tee shirt and sweat pants.  For most people nowadays that is not the case. You don't have to wait until you reach your goal weight to look good while working out.  The right exercise clothes can improve your workout as well as your attitude!  Wearing a flattering outfit to exercise in can actually motivate you to work harder during your exercise session.

First and foremost you have to be comfortable while exercising.  There is nothing worse than ill fitting bottoms or having to tug on a too short shirt the whole time.  You are more likely to cut your workout short, or not push yourself for these reasons.  If you like cotton that's fine; just make sure it fits your personal body type and style.  Target has a sale on women's cotton tanks and hoodies this week.   Find a color you like and stock up!

Technical gear that wicks sweat away from your body is one of the best inventions.  These styles keep you cool and comfortable while you work up a sweat.  You can find technical sock, shorts, bras,  tops, pants and even head bands and hats. 

Looking good can do wonders for your self -esteem at the gym.  There is no need to dress skimpy or wear too revealing clothes to feel good about yourself.  At the same time, you probably don't feel your best when wearing pants or tops that are too baggy either.  Find the happy medium.  Dress in clothes that compliment your body type and accentuate rather then hide your entire body.   If you have nice shoulders, go ahead and wear a tank top to highlight that.  Be proud of your accomplishments and don't think of it as being boastful.  There is a big difference between exuding self confidence and being stuck on oneself.
